Customer Reviews

DJ NICKE IMAGE

“During my time as an animator at Walt Disney, I was reminded time and again just how important good video reference is for quality animation. Some projects don’t always allow the time or the budget to film and process your own video reference, and that’s where Endless Reference has been an invaluable tool.

Now that I run an online animation community designed to teach animation to the next generation, I am constantly turning to Endless Reference for high quality reference footage of the human form in motion.

Thank you Endless Reference!
